“Jugar a las oficinas es fácil si sabes cómo. El trabajo es solamente un papel que hay que interpretar. He aprendido a dominarlo a la perfección: sé los chascarrillos que siempre funcionan para romper el hielo. Sé lo que tengo que preguntar para parecer atenta e interesada. Y sé lo que tengo que decir para que el tiempo fluya más rápido sin hacer realmente nada hasta las seis de la tarde.
[...]
Lo cierto es que no sé hacer nada en particular y no sé cómo he llegado aquí. Intuyo que perfeccionando el juego de las oficinas hasta que los demás se han ido creyendo que soy una gran profesional.
[...]
El juego de las oficinitas consiste en saber expresarse cuando toca. En decir «preparar un Excel» o «hacer una presentación» como si estuvieras hablando de una operación a corazón abierto o en alargar excesivamente una explicación, llena de detalles aburridos, para que la gente pierda el hilo de lo que estás contando y no te pregunte nada al terminar.”

“Juggling a career and a family is a challenge for anyone, and even more so (in general) for women. Probably the most important advice to any woman interested in a career is to pick your life partner with care. Having a supportive partner is key to trying to manage the constraints of these two demanding roles.”
“Juggling and balancing effectively required that we make clear, legacy-driven choices about what we're trying to keep in the air and how we sequence our movements down the beam. Because the ultimate grade in life is not based on how far and fast we've walked the beam or how many things we’ve juggled—it’s based on how much we've enjoyed the exercise.”

And employment outside the home can contribute in substantial, practical ways to how one works within the home, as a spouse and as a parent.”

“Juicy apple, pear, and banana,
Gooseberry ... They all speak of
Death and life in the mouth ... I have a presentiment ...
Read it from a child’s expression
If she savours them. It comes from far, from far ...
Aren’t you slowly becoming aware of something inexpressible in your mouth?
Where a moment ago were words, a flowing discovery
Is released, startling, from the fruit’s flesh.
Venture to say what your apple is called.
This sweetness, which originally condensed itself,
Spreading out, slowly in being tasted rose up
To achieve a clarity, awake and of transparency,
Resonant of opposites, sunny, earthy, of the here and now -:
Oh the experience of it, the feeling, the joy -, immense!”

'I find today I am in need of a bonnet.'

'It will be a gift for a woman, Mr. Postlethwaite.'
'Of course, sir.'
The marquess wished the 'of course' sounded a bit more sincere. He'd scarcely been in the shop for more than three minutes and already his dignity was fraying.”
